CLIENT STORY: RECKITT
Reigniting Motivation & Purpose for Leaders and Teams
The Context:
Like many large Fortune 500 organisations, Reckitt—one of the world’s leading consumer goods companies—is full of ambitious high-performers striving to make an impact.
For even the most driven leaders, the fire that fuels early career can start to fade. Motivation wanes, and the grass elsewhere starts to look greener
According to Gallup, only 1 in 10 employees are actively engaged at work. That means at least 90% of teams face lower productivity, poorer retention, and a lack of connection to their work.
Here’s the truth: How motivated we feel is almost never a result of where we work. The real problem is usually a disconnect from purpose (and often to each other).
When we feel like what we’re doing has real meaning—when it touches something deeper within us—we’ll go above and beyond to make incredible things possible. When we feel connected to each other, too, that amplifies it even more.

“The process shaped who we are as a team. We dug deep into motivations and created a united vision we refer back to almost daily.”

"The whole process was incredible. It made me think about and fully understand myself and what drives me."

Why Reckitt Trusted popp®?
Well, honestly, it started because brave individuals like Steve (featured above), trusted me enough to be guinea pigs. I found both my own ‘why’ there (you can listen to me talk about that here if you’d really like) and my team’s “why” too. It was such a profound experience that I actually ended up starting popp to help more people find their “why” without needing to leave the security of the 9-5 like me.
Since, we’ve helped close to a hundred leaders across Reckitt. We’ve mastered the process and achieved unbelievable feedback about the impact.
